Working with wizards

In the Windows Media Services snap-in, four wizards are available to help you perform complex tasks. Each wizard takes you through a step by step process that helps you understand the operations you are performing.

Add Publishing Point Wizard. This wizard helps you choose a content source and a distribution method. It can also help you create a playlist, log files, and archive files. If you do not want to use the wizard to create a publishing point or you want to include advanced features in your publishing point, you can use the Add Publishing Point (Advanced) command instead.

Create Wrapper Wizard. This wizard helps you add advertising or other content to the start and end of your unicast broadcast.

Unicast Announcement Wizard. This wizard helps you create an announcement file which can be used by unicast clients to access your publishing point. You can also use the wizard to create a simple Web page with an embedded link to your publishing point.

Multicast Announcement Wizard. This wizard helps you create an announcement file and a multicast information file that clients can use to connect to your multicast stream.
